I bought a game on the Eshop yesterday and got charged an international service fee.  That has never happened to me before.  What is the deal with that?

I barely open Origin, and I don't think I have opened Uplay in forever.  So yay another one I might not open for years.

Bend, Oregon

Or Portland



I live in Portland though.

Mild weather and probably one of the most beautiful places to live: 2 hours to the coast, or 2 hours to skiing in the mountains.  Fishing, biking, hiking, camping.  It rains a lot, but that is what contributes to the green:

yay.

I've got family and friends who think Trump is a genius businessman. 

He IS a genius business man.  Even though he is a crook.  He has convinced more people to give him money, TV shows, and a presidency.  Say what you will, but you have to be pretty smart to trick that many people on that wide of a scale.

You people really think people didn't know Trump was a crook? EVERYONE knows Trump is a crook.  I believe he won because they know he is a crook, but they suspect the other candidates might also be crooks.  So people voted for what they knew as opposed to sneaky underhanded don't know.  What really bugs me in this country is people believed there were only two options.  There weren't.  We deserve exactly what we got.

RAPE!

When I read the title I though.. sure.. I am a manager.  We never get paid the hours we work, but your case sounds terrible.

Does it still exist?  wow.  I played it for a long time.

Apparently the boards  have been down since March.  Who knew.

As a professional grant writer, I could have saved you whatever you paid for that damn thing. 

 

It was free.

But I sure could use some help because my new job requires me to write grants to get federal and state money to run a transit system and I am a newb.

The only grant writing book you'll ever need. 

I drew mine myself on a whiteboard at my old job.

Congrats on the new job! What made you switch, @Zarich ? Just wanting a change? Better commute? Better pay? 

My job  was taking my life.  Working all the time, on call all the time and new Management who had beliefs that didn't align with my own.  I was pretty miserable.  So It was time to change.

Went from being a manager in a large organization to the director in a small organization.  Still in the WTF did I do stage, but overall I think it is going to work out.
